Proposals for our last health-related grant competition were due on Sunday, June 1, 2008. Grantees will be announced at the 2008 Global Voices Summit.

The next grant competition will be announced sometime in November, 2008. To learn more about Rising Voices, and to subscribe to our mailing list, please visit our About page.
